To Invite yes or no? Input needed*

It could go either way. I like invites because than you can be sure everyone knows details about your rehearsal and dinner. This might save your sanity on the day of–not having to deal with people calling you, asking lots of questions, etc. Typically the grooms family hosts the rehearsal dinner, so formal invitations would actually be sent from your future MIL and not you anyway. That being said

if you feel your guests will be just fine hearing details through word of mouth, than that route works too. As a person who has been in a few weddings I like an invitation that has dates, times, addresses bc I am completely absentminded!! Happy almost wedding!!!

Oh wait…I just read back a few….this is your brother’s wedding I think?

I say it could go either way. When I got married we just told the bridal party what place to go to and that was it. It seems un necessary to send out an invitation if the dinner is in the same place as the rehearsal. I think. FMIL is being picky and needs to find a something else to complain about. It’s not like she didn’t know where to go or what was going on.

Rehearsal dinner is for those in the immediate family and bridal party. Sometimes, special guests or out of state folks are invited. Every one I have been too were invited by mouth not invitations…although I would think that is not bad either. It’s just that even you are immediate family or bridal party, you are already talking with the bride and groom.

Non of my dinners were at the church. In my area, it is done in the home or restaurant.

rehersal is for immediate family and for those involved (groomsmen and bridesmaids ect.) A phone call should be suffice and leave it at that, why send out invites for the rehersal when you’ve already done wedding invitations?

I have never heard of rehearsal dinner invitations.

RYN: I’m only going to my initial appointment. Spouses can’t be seen on post, so I had to find a provider off post. I will end up seeing a psychiatrist to prescribe my meds. My PCM is full-stupid. She refused to prescribe me Retin-A when my acne was mad-flaring up. She was like- I’m not allowed to prescribe this or that or anything…

I have heard of some people using invites but only fancy weddings. We never sent any out, just did a word of mouth and every wedding that we have been a part of has been word of mouth. Rehearsal dinner invites sound like a waste of money to me.

No invites for my rehearsal dinner, and I didn’t do it for my SIL’s/brother’s wedding either that I was the maid of honor for. Never even heard of that, lol. If you were in the wedding party, you know you’re invited, no?

find some at dollar tree and appease her. It’s often worth just making people happy. hand deliver the ones you can. mother of the bride doesn’t have much of a role in her daughter’s wedding and for most it’s the first event of their daughters life that they have to sit back for

i would send them out just to cover your a$$….just remember you can’t please everybody. there will be at least one person that will be pi$sed off some how some way…..
